D W,

If I am correct then the first 2 photos taken early 48 during a bloody Civil War to defeat a Communist takeover (note British equipment and uniforms), and I am guessing the nice, sunny, depot photos were taken later same year when all the US equipment would have flooded in and the tide turned against the Tito Yugoslav forces. Not a period in post-WW2 history that many are aware of, but some good stuff available on the internet, and history could have been very different ifthe outcome had been reversed.
